Machine vision, an interdisciplinary field that aims to replicate human visual perception in computers, has experienced rapid progress and significant contributions.This paper traces the origins of machine vision, from early image processing algorithms to its convergence with computer science, mathematics, and robotics, resulting in a distinct bran
OSVidCap: A Framework for the Simultaneous Recognition and Description of Concurrent Actions in Videos in an Open-Set Scenario
Automatically understanding and describing the visual content of videos in natural language is a challenging task in computer vision.Existing approaches are often designed to describe single events in a closed-set setting.However, in real-world scenarios, concurrent activities and previously unseen actions may appear in a video.This work presents t
Synthesis, X-ray crystallography and antimicrobial activity of 2-cyanoguanidinophenytoin
Abstract The optimized synthesis of [5-oxo-4,4-diphenylimidazolidin-2-ylidene]cyanamide, which is known as 2-cyanoguanidinophenytoin (CNG-DPH) (3), and (imidazo[4,5-d]imidazole-2,5-diylidine)dicyanamide (4) has been reported in the present work.Furthermore, new Mannich bases derived from CNG-DPH were synthesized via its reaction with formaldehyde a
Evaluation of Switchgrass Genotypes for Cold-Tolerant Seed Germination from Native Populations in the Northeast USA
The focus of this research was to evaluate genotypes for cold-tolerant germination from wild switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) populations collected in the Northeast USA.Switchgrass nurseries were established in 2008 and 2009 with seed collected from native stands of switchgrass in the Northeast USA between 1991 and 2008.Switchgrass seed harvested
